Here’s 5 steps to get started from our marketing agency experts:
1. Strategic Analysis
Take a closer look at your existing profiles and evaluate the effectiveness of your current posts. Identify how engaging, frequent, and consistent your previous posts have been; implement your findings into each step of your new social media strategy. Establish whether your posts provoke discussion, add value to your followers’ daily scroll and most importantly, target your desired audience. From here, you should be able to outline your social media goals, the tactics you will use to achieve them, and the metrics you will track to measure your progress. For those struggling to conduct a strategic analysis within their own organisation, the marketing team at Bobble will work with you to define your social media goals – and achieve success!2. Audience Profiling
An effective paid social strategy requires you to make a connection with your target audience. Audience profiling is used to get to know your fans, followers and customers as real people with real wants and needs. Create some personas to represent your ideal audience; specify demographics such as age, location, average income, interests, and occupation to gain a detailed insight into your customer. By profiling and segregating consumers into categories with specific behaviours, an organisation can then personalise its marketing activities to engage with that audience – genius, right? During this process, you should also learn which social platforms appeal most to your audience from LinkedIn to TikTok.3. Competitor Analysis
How do you stay ahead of the competition? Well, you need to know what they’re doing first. Completing a competitor analysis will give you a good sense of what’s expected in your industry and what’s working (or not working) for other organisations. What kinds of content are they publishing, how often are they posting and is their audience engaged? Competitors are great indicators of the strength of your position within an industry – use this information to improve your own strategy.4. Campaign Creation and Development
Using what you have learnt so far, define the number of times you intend to post on social media and a basic idea of what you intend to post. While it’s important that your campaign is unique, you can still draw inspiration from companies you admire and those that perform well on social media. Remember to keep your target audience in the forefront of your mind during this stage, ensuring that you appeal to and entertain your ideal customer with every post.
